Aragon High School Reviews
Rating 3.99 out of 5 289 reviews
At Aragon High School, academics are a pretty big part of the environment. While athletics and the arts are also given a lot of attention, most students are focused on academics. The best part of my experience was the teachers I got to learn from. Some notable teachers are Heather Sadlon, Aaron Apperson, Steve Ratto, and Wiley Clothier. High school is a challenging time for most students and Aragon has some great student services in the wellness center and also in the college and career centers. At Aragon, I felt pretty included and never had a problem with bullying.
Some of the best things about Aragon are I have a ton of friends there and they have lots of club diversity. Most of my teachers were good, just pay attention, do the work, and study and you'll get A's. It's only if you have a really bad teacher that you'll struggle with grades. The worst part of Aragon is when you get paired with students that don't do the work or get off task to talk to their friends. But I minimize this by taking the AS version of classes. Finally, I love how Aragon (and all SMUHSD schools) participate in the Middle College program with CSM, Skyline, and Canada community college as it provides a great opportunity for very academically driven people such as myself.
My experience at Aragon High School was one of the best experiences of my life. I was able to make lifelong friends, learn valuable lessons, and develop a strong sense of self. The teachers at Aragon High School were some of the best I have ever had. They were always willing to help and answer any questions I had. They also provided a safe and supportive environment for me to learn and grow. I was able to take challenging classes and push myself to do my best. The extracurricular activities at Aragon High School were also great. I was able to join a variety of clubs and sports teams. The social atmosphere at Aragon High School was also great. I was able to make friends with people from all different backgrounds and cultures. Overall, my experience at Aragon High School was one of the best experiences of my life. I am so grateful for the time I spent at Aragon High School and the memories I made there.
